The Power of the Holy Spirit is a vital tool of the spiritual life and a neglected tool. The power has several purposes — in this message we look at the power as a tool for witnessing and creating an awe of God in the hearts of people.

Devotion the spiritual tool of being totally devoted to Christ in love — undistracted devotion — a life lived with Him as the primary focus and passion of our life.

Worship is the declaring of Gods greatness back to Him -- ascribing worth to Him, honoring Him as God.

Fasting is a vital tool of the spiritual life. Jesus referred positively to fasting as a practice of the faith life. The early church practiced regular fasting. What is it and why should we practice it?

Community — We were designed by God to live in community — close relationship — oneness and unity — with Him and with each other. We were not designed to be alone — we weren’t designed to be Lone Rangers. We need communion — close fellowship with Him, and with each other. That unity must be diligently sought after, preserved, and protected.

In this first message of the series on Tools of the Spiritual Life we look at Prayer — clearly, the most important tool at our disposal. Polls indicate that a high percentage of Americans believe in prayer — yet most Christians say they feel inadequate in their prayer life. This message is to encourage and equip.

King Jesus ascended into heaven on a cloud right in front of His disciples — two angels immediately appeared and said that the same way He had departed, He would one day return.

Easter Sunday Celebration -- Paul wrote that Jesus was declared to be the Son of God by the resurrection from the dead. The resurrection validated His ministry and His sacrifice -- the resurrection proved He is the Son of God, the King of kings.

Palm Sunday celebrates Jesuss entrance into Jerusalem for the final time before His crucifixion — ironically it is called His triumphal entry. It was a direct fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies from Zechariah and the Psalms.

Jesus turned everything upside down — His ways are just the opposite of mans ways, just the opposite of the ways of the world, just the opposite of the kingdom of darkness.
